Robotic gaming prototype for upper limb exercise: Effects of age and embodiment on user preferences and movement.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Effective human-robot interactions in rehabilitation necessitates an understanding of how these should be tailored to the needs of the human. We report on a robotic system developed as a partner on a 3-D everyday task, using a gamified ap...

Smooth leader or sharp follower? Playing the mirror game with a robot.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: The increasing number of opportunities for human-robot interactions in various settings, from industry through home use to rehabilitation, creates a need to understand how to best personalize human-robot interactions to fit both the user ...

Gene Ontology semantic similarity tools: survey on features and challenges for biological knowledge discovery.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Gene Ontology (GO) semantic similarity tools enable retrieval of semantic similarity scores, which incorporate biological knowledge embedded in the GO structure for comparing or classifying different proteins or list of proteins based on their GO ann...

Towards a situation-and-user-aware multi-modal motorized toilet system to assist older adults with disabilities: A user requirements study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In the recent decades state of the art technologies appeared in many areas to assist older adults with disabilities. However, one very essential activity of daily life, the toileting remained without any relevant development. The iToilet project of t...

Estimating indoor galaxolide concentrations using predictive models based on objective assessments and data about dwelling characteristics.

Inhalation toxicology
BACKGROUND: Galaxolide (HHCB) is used for fragrance in many consumer products. The aim of the current study was to use objective assessments of HHCB to build a predictive model in order to estimate indoor-measured HHCB concentrations from questionnai...

Using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to determine product usability: A proposed theoretical framework.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: In order to compare existing usability data to ideal goals or to that for other products, usability practitioners have tried to develop a framework for deriving an integrated metric. However, most current usability methods with this aim r...

Using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to determine product usability: A test case.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: In order to take into account the inherent uncertainties during product usability evaluation, Zhou and Chan [1] proposed a comprehensive method of usability evaluation for products by combining the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuz...

A mobile platform for automated screening of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma each represent a large proportion of the global disease burden; COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and asthma is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases, afflicting over 300 m...

Suicide Risk Assessment in Hospitals: An Expert System-Based Triage Tool.

The Journal of clinical psychiatry
BACKGROUND: The November 2010 Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alert on the prevention of suicides in medical/surgical units and the emergency department (ED) mandates screening every patient treated as an outpatient or admitted to the hospital for su...
